DECISIONS. A POINTS OP SUPERIORITY
—FAILURE TO DENVER.
The Supreme Court of Georgia held, in the
recent case of the Western Union Telegraph
Company vs. Mansfield, that where a message
was delivered to a telegraph company for trans-
mission, and was received and transmitted
promptly, the charges being prepaid by the
sender, and the sendee applied for the message
at the office to which it was transmitted three
hours after such transmission, and the company
failed to deliver it, he was, in an action for the
statutory penalty, entitled to recover, although
he did not reside within the city at which the
message was received, nor within a mile of the
telegraph office, and that for not delivering in
the company's office the non-residence of the
sendee was no excuse.

At the hearing it appeared that Hussey had at-
tended a base ball game between the Bostons
and Clevelands about July 1st and that this was
the chief reason for his discharge. The at-
torneys for the plaintiff claimed that this was
not a sound excuse for the defendants refusing
to keep their agreement to retain him in their
employ ten months, but the court thought
otherwise and returned a verdict for the defend-
ants. The plaintiff has appealed to the super-
ior court, where a jury will be asked to decide
the question.

EMPLOYEE—INCREASED DANGER.
The Appellate Court of Indiana held, in the
recent case of The Indianapolis Union Railway
Company vs. Ott, that where an employee re-
mains in the employer's service after acquiring
knowledge of defective appliances which he
must use in the performance of his duties, and
which increase the danger of his service, not
under a promise of the employer to repair the
defect, but under a promise to furnish him new
and safe appliances instead, he'thereby assumes
the extra hazard occasioned by the defective ap-
pliances.

one in possession of a promissory note as agent
for another is not cut off from restoring the note
to his principal, though a demand upon him for
the note has been made by another claimant;
that even if the latter turns out to be the true
owner, it is no conversion of the note by the
agent for him to decline compliance with the de-
mand on the ground that he is a mere agent, and
for the sole purpose of restoring the note to his
principal, which purpose he executes before any
action is brought against him, and that if one

"CROWN" PIANOS,
If you would be sharp, you'll flatly refuse,
An instrument poor to buy or to use:
Like the hard harsh voice of an angry scold,
Cheap instruments sound before they are old :
They're cheap in their make, material and tone,
And if you are sound, you'll let them alone.
The adage oft told is true my dear friend,
For, '' the best is cheapest in the end.''
Now this is just the jist of the matter,
Spoken by lips that never would flatter.
The " Crown " is well made both inside and
out,
From ivory keys to the pin blocks stout:
The "Crown" will outlast your fingers and
feet
And please you with tones alluring and sweet:
You'll say when you've looked from East unto
West,
The " Crown " pianos and organs are best.
For in fact, the " Crown " is like a good wife,
You'll have no other, you'd take it for life.
"It is conceded upon all hands that Lyon & Ilealy have
won the greatest victory of pny house in the music line."—
